Poetry: Psithurism by Kieron Baird

Psithurism

by Kieron P. Baird

Whispers through boughs, the sound of wind at play.
When the leaves rustle and as branches sway.
In daytime a murmur, soothing and sweet. |
At night, a voice mysterious; discreet. 

Blowing debris trees have cast to the ground.
Drafts finding their way through limbs – sound.
A natural form of escapism,
given a name, the term, psithurism.
